PREFACE. 

There  is  a  good  deal  of  legitimate  complaint  concerning  the 
present  day  grammar  school  course  of  study.  It  is  charged 
that  our  standards  are  too  exacting,  our  texts  too  voluminous, 
our  subjects  too  congested,  the  teacher's  time  overcrowded, 
and  a  vast  mass  of  work  prescribed  that  must,  necessarily,  be 
done  in  a  hasty,  helter-skelter  manner.  In  addition  to  these 
complaints,  and  largely  as  a  result  of  the  facts  which  they 
allege,  come  other  charges:  that  an  undue  percentage  of  chil- 
dren are  over  age,  that  far  too  many  boys  and  girls  drop  out 
before  finishing  the  common  school  course ;  that  those  who  stay 
are  thinly  plated  with  an  unsubstantial  smattering  of  many 
things,  and  really  have  very  little  thorough  grounding  in  even 
the  commonest  essentials  of  the  common  schools. 

In  an  age  of  criticism,  complaint  sometimes  becomes  quer- 
ulous and  unreasonable.  Nevertheless,  a  good  deal  of  the 
complaint  that  is  made  regarding  the  overcrowding  of  our 
curriculum  Avith  surplusage  is  undoubtedly  well  founded. 

Reading,  writing,  and  arithmetic  were  a  generous  education 
in  the  day  of  Daniel  Boone  and  those  who  followed  him  into 
the  frontier.  Taken  alone,  they  no  longer  constitute  a  prepa- 
ration for  life.  The  world  has  changed  and  its  requirements^ 
standards,  and  demands  have  likewise  changed.  The  curricu- 
lum of  to-day  with  its  reading,  writing,  arithmetic,  spelling, 
composition,  language,  grammar,  literature,  geography,  his- 
tory, civics,  physiology,  nature  study,  art,  music,  domestic 
science,  manual  training,  and  agriculture,  consists  of  subjects 
as  fundamental,  when  judged  by  the  standards  of  our  time,  as 
was  the  meager  curriculum  of  the  frontier  school  in  its  own 
day.     Sufficient  unto  each  day  is  the  curriculum  thereof! 

The  thing  we  need  to  do  in  all  our  common  school  subjects 
is  to  find  their  living  values.  If  we  can  prune  out  all  the 
dead  wooH,  all  the  mistletoes  of  tradition,  all  the  ring-knots 


4  PREFACE. 

of  pedantry  that  have  grown  in  the  subject-matter  of  our 
courses,  we  will  considerably  thin  out  the  tangle. 

In  the  making  of  text-books  and  in  the  organization  of 
courses  of  study,  there  should  be  to-day  one  primary  consid- 
eration, namely,  what  are  the  fundamental  essentials  and  the 
necessary  minimum  standards  that  shall  be  established  in 
organizing  the  subject-matter  of  each  common  school  course 
of  study?  To  answer  this  question  we  must  apply  the  acid 
test  of  general,  human  usefulness  to  every  detail  of  the  com- 
mon school  course.  Those  portions  of  any  subject  which  are 
dear  only  to  the  specialist,  which  are  used  only  by  a  small 
number  of  men  and  women,  which  are  survivals  of  tradition, 
or  which  are  the  sand  ballast  of  the  scholarship  that  concerns 
itself  with  subjects  rather  than  with  children  and  their  life 
needs,  must  be  thrown  overboard  before  we  will  have  room  for 
the  real  cargo  and  a  fair  chance  to  bring  it  into  port. 


THE  COURSE  IN  SPELLING. 


The  course  of  study  in  spelling  represented  by  the  text-book 
in  current  use  in  the  State  of  California,  is  fairly  water-logged 
with  the  surplus  of  dead-weight  ballast  that  it  contains.  It 
consists  of  over  twelve  thousand  different  words.  This  is  four 
times  as  many  words  as  any  thoughtful  estimate  based  upon 
an  examination  of  the  world's  use  has  prescribed  for  common 
school  study. 

There  w^as  a  time  when  a  poor  word  list  did  not  do  much 
acute  mischief.  In  the  day  when  there  were  but  three  or  four 
established  subjects  in  the  elementary  curriculum  a  teacher 
might  well  spend  time  teaching  catch-words,  odd  words,  rare 
words,  and,  in  general,  two  or  three  times  as  many  words  as 
common  use  required  people  to  write.  There  may  have  been 
then,  as  we  are  now  assured,  grammar  school  students  who 
could  spell  every  proper  name  in  the  Bible,  and  evei:y^  word  in 
the  unabridged  dictionary. 

In  the  crowded  curriculum  of  to-day  the  teacher  can  not 
teach  the  spelling  of  all  the  words  in  the  unabridged  dic- 
tionary, or  all  the  names  in  the  Bible.  Neither  has  she  time 
for  trick-words  and  tongue-twisters,  such  as  delighted  the 
schoolmaster  fifty  years  ago.  She  has  time,  possibly,  with 
earnastness  and  a  clear  course  of  study,  to  get  results  that 
will  meet  to-day's  demands. 

But,  first  of  all,  there  must  be  a  clear  course  of  study. 

A  LIST  OF  WORDS  IN  COMMON  WRITTEN  USE. 

The  purpose  of  the  following  word  list  is  to  provide  the 
teacher  with  suitable  subject-matter  for  a  common  school 
course  in  spelling.  The  effort  has  been  made  to  set  in  order 
only  such  words  as  are  commonly  used  in  writing  by  Amer- 
icans of  the  present  day.  Frankly,  those  who  prepared  this 
list  have  followed  the  simple  rule  that  a  word  that  it  is  neces- 
sary for  our  children  to  learn  to  spell  in  school  is  one  that 


6  THE  COURSE  IN  SPELLING. 

there  will  be  a  high  probability  of  their  having  to  write  at 
some  future  time. 

It  would  seem  clear  that  no  child  should  be  forced  to  learn 
to  spell  a  long  array  of  technical  terms  because  some  one  child 
in  ten  thousand  might  later  become  a  professor  of  anatomy; 
that,  in  so  far  as  possible,  children  should  not  be  required  to 
learn  to  spell  long  lists  of  words  which  would  be  written  only 
in  school  and  never  put  to  common  use  later ;  and  that,  finally, 
every  child  should  learn  to  spell  those  words  which  in  all  prob- 
ability he  and  his  fellows  would  find  occasion  to  use  more  than 
once  in  writing,  not  only  in  their  school  lives  but  later  in  their 
outside  correspondence  and  affairs. 

The  following  list  is  founded  upon  an  examination  of  the 
actual  use  of  words,  in  writing,  by  a  very  large  number  of 
children  and  adults.  In  the  first  place,  it  incorporates  542 
words  found  by  Dr.  Ayres  of  the  RusSuell  Sage  Foundation  to 
be  most  fundamentally  common  in  American  written  usage. 

This  Russell  Sage  Foundation  list  has  been  a  valuable  force 
in  directing  thought  as  to  the  best  way  of  determining  the 
truth  concerning  the  relative  value  of  material  in  the  course  of 
study.  It  has  brought  home  the  importance  of  studying 
results  and  the  superior  value  of  facts  as  compared  with  per- 
sonal opinion  in, the  determination  of  standards  of  value. 

The  word  list  prepared  by  Miss  Effie  McFadden  and  Dr. 
Frederic  Burk  of  the  State  Normal  School,  San  Francisco, 
California,  has  also  been  of  material  value  in  the  preparation 
of  this  list.  The  San  Francisco  list  consisted  of  all  the  words 
used  two  or  more  times  in  91  letters,  containing  a  total  of 
19,288  words.  These  letters,  like  those  for  the  most  part  used 
ill  the  Ayres  investigation,  were  letters  of  common  correspond- 
ence involving  simple  business  transactions,  social  communica- 
tions, family  letters,  love  letters,  etc.  They  contained  a  total 
of  6,916  different  words,  but  only  840  were  found  to  be  used 
more  than  twice.  This  list  included  and  verified  most  of  the 
words  in  the  Ayres  list. 


THE  COURSE  IN  SPELLING.  7 

Finally,  for  this  specific  work  and  in  addition  to  the  experi- 
ence of  the  Ayres  investigation  and  the  San  Francisco  Normal 
School  study,  the  authors  of  this  list  collected  920  compo- 
sitions, written  by  children  in  school  from  the  third  to  the 
eighth  grade,  inclusive,  and  made  a  count  and  an  analysis  of 
every  word  contained  therein. 

These  920  compositions,  selected  at  random  from  the  city 
and  rural  schools  of  the  Chico  district,  showed  substantially 
all  the  words  that  written  school  exercises  of  children  required 
them  to  use.  An  aggregate  of  nearly  200,000  words  was  thus 
passed  over  and  inspected,  and  from  that  number  3,459  differ- 
ent words  or  different  forms  of  the  same  words  were  found 
to  be  used. 

Some  of  the  words  were  unusual  and  had  evidently  been 
brought  in  by  children  who  desired  to  express  an  unusual 
interest  or  whose  experience  had  been  quite  apart  from  that  of 
their  fellows.  'Many  proper  names  were  found.  A  large 
number  of  words  technically  used  in  teaching  grammar  and 
geography,  such  as  subjunctive  and  equinoctial,  had  worked 
their  way  into  the  occasional  use  of  the  children.  All  such 
words,  not  clearly  of  common  written  use  in  life,  were  omitted 
in  the  final  compilation  that  follows. 

There  has  been  much  discussion  as  to  whether  there  should 
be  thirteen  thousand  or  seven  hundred  words  in  the  spelling 
word  list  and  the  discussion  has  ranged  all  the  way  from  the 
higher  to  the  lower  figure.  It  does  not  seem  possible  for  us  to 
settle  this  question  by  a  priori  debate,  or  through  any  oracular 
process  whatever.  The  nearest  approximation  to  the  truth 
that  we  seem  to  be  able  to  reach  is  found  by  listing  all  the 
words  in  common  written  use  outside  of  school  and  then  to 
count  them.  The  number  of  words  that  we  have  found  as  a 
result  of  our  compilation  is  3,470. 

This  number  may  seem  too  many,  or  it  may  seem  too  few  to 
those  who  glance  at  it,  but  we  respectfully  submit  that  no  off- 
hand opinion  will  help  the  matter.  New  and  better  evidence 
will  doubtless  in  time  be  presented,  but  it  must  be  based  upon 


8  THE  COURSE  IN  SPELLING. 

a  further  and  better  study  of  general  use.  If  we  are  ever  to 
get  beyond  guess  work  we  must  set  a  standard  for  the  selection 
of  our  spelling  content.  The  simplest,  truest  standard  is  that 
children  should  learn  to  spell  in  school  those  words  that  we 
find  children  and  adults  commonly  having  need  to  write.  The 
words  in  the  following  spelling  list  have  been  tested  by  this 
standard. 

SOME  ADVANTAGES. 

There  are  several  substantial  gains  that  come  to  the  teacher 
and  the  pupil  with  a  short  word  list.  It  is  obvious  that  a 
standard  of  spelling  accuracy  may  be  secured  with  a  word  list 
of  3,470  words  that  would  not  be  possible  with  two,  or  three, 
or  four  times  as  many  words.  It  is  obvious  also  that  the 
shorter  list  will  make  possible  a  smaller  number  of  new  words 
per  day,  a  better  method  of  presentation,  more  systematic 
reviews,  and  the  probability  of  intelligent,  self-directed  appli- 
cation in  the  school  and  outside  writing.  These  are  all  impor- 
tant advantages  in  the  short  list ;  but  the  list  was  not  shortened 
in  order  to  bring  them  about.  The  length  of  the  list  has  been 
determined  by  the  standards  of  common  use.  Long  or  short,' 
hard  or  easy,  the  children  of  the  land  should  learn  to  spell  the 
words  which  they,  in  school  and  out,  will  be  required  to  write. 
And  it  is  upon  this  proposition  that  the  following  compilation 
has  been  made. 

GRADING   BASED    ON    SCHOOL   USE. 

As  has  been  said,  there  was  an  aggregate  of  3,459  words  in 
the  compositions  that  served  as  a  basis  for  original  investiga- 
tion. These  words  were  listed  so  as  to  show  the  number  of 
times  every  one  was  used  in  every  half  year  of  the  elementary 
school.  In  this  way  the  authors  had  some  guide  beyond  their 
own  conjecture  as  to  where  such  words  were  first  commonly 
written  by  children.  It  was  found,  for  example,  that  children 
in  the  third  and  fourth  grades  did  not  write  the  words  earth 
and  cottage,  but  that  such  words  were  written  by  children  in 
the  upper  grades  as  follows :  earth  in  the  fifth  and  cottage  in 
the  seventh  grade.     On  the  other  hand,  it  was  found  that  some 


THE  COURSE  IN  SPELLING.  9 

harder  words,  such  as  neither  and  piece,  were  very  commonly 
written  in  the  third  and  fourth  grades  and  that  the  compo- 
sition needs  of  children  in  those  years  seemed,  unmistakably, 
to  require  their  use. 

With  such  modification  as  suggested  itself  in  order  to  correct 
manifest  incongruities,  the  actual  experience  of  children  in  the 
use  of  written  English  has  been  accepted  substantially  as  a 
basis  for  the  grading  of  the  lessons.  Provision  has,  therefore, 
been  made  that  words  shall  be  taught  before  the  term  or  year 
in  which  they  are  commonly  written ;  but  not  so  long  before  as 
to  become  stale  and  forgotten  by  the  time  they  are  to  be  used. 

THE  PROGRESS  OF  THE  PUPIL. 

In  planning  the  course,  a  minimum  of  one  hundred  and 
seventy  recitations  per  year  has  been  assumed.  There  are  few 
schools  in  which  it  will  be  less  than  this,  and  many  where  it 
will  run  somewhere  between  two  hundred  and  two  hundred 
and  twenty  daily  spelling  periods.  Ordinarily,  California 
rural  schools  approximate  from  one  hundred  and  seventy  to 
one  hundred  and  eighty  days  of  school  work  per  annum.  Such 
schools  will  have  no  difficulty  in  teaching  this  word  list  in  the 
third  to  seventh  grade,  inclusive. 

City  schools,  however,  with  between  one  hundred  and  ninety 
and  two  hundred  days  per  annum,  should  make  more  rapid 
progress.  In  such  schools,  it  will  not  be  impossible  for  classes 
to  complete  the  word  list  before  the  expiration  of  the  sixth 
grade. 

In  any  event,  it  is  not  important  to  specify  just  how  long 
a  pupil  or  a  class  must  take  to  finish  the  spelling  list.  Indeed, 
it  is  impossible  to  state  in  advance  what  time  will  be  required 
in  any  given  case.  It  is  important,  however,  that  every  child 
should  make  its  way  through  this  work,  and  so  far  as  possible 
through  all  other  work,  as  rapidly  as  thorough  instruction  and 
good  results  may  justify.  There  is  no  sense  in  speed  based 
upon  inaccuracy  and  on  the  other  hand  there  is  surely  no  good 
reason  for  undue  retardation  simply  for  the  purpose  of  main- 
taining some  preordained  schedule  of  progress. 


10  THE  COURSE  IN  SPELLING. 

Progress  in  rural  school  and  city  school  alike  should  be  at 
the  rate  that  experience  proves  the  pupils  to  be  able  to  go.  In 
the  rural  school,  as  has  been  indicated,  the  work  can  be  done 
in  the  manner  suggested,  in  not  more  than  five  years,  from  the 
third  to  the  seventh  grade,  inclusive.  In  the  city  schools, 
with  their  longer  terms,  it  may  be  possible  to  teach  the  course 
thoroughly  in  four  years,  from  the  third  to  the  sixth,  inclusive. 

ARRANGEMENT   BY   GRADES. 

Formal  spelling  is  generally  begun  in  the  second  or  third 
grade.  The  plan  proposed  here  suggests  the  introduction  of 
work  in  the  third  grade.  Children  do  very  little  writing 
before  the  third  grade,  and  have  little  chance  to  use  and  limited 
opportunity  to  review  such  spelling  as  they  may  be  taught. 
At  the  same  time,  a  considerable  amount  of  incidental  spelling 
is  acquired  in  connection  with  the  reading  and  language  work 
of  the  first  and  second  years.  The  lessons  planned  here  for  the 
third  grade  may  be  begun  in  the  second,  should  school  author- 
ities desire  it  that  way. 

In  the  first  year  of  spelling,  whether  it  be  in  the  third  or 
second  grade,  two  new  words  a  day  are  taught.  The  new  word 
list  increases  at  the  rate  of  one  per  year  until  in  the  seventh 
grade  six  new  words  are  introduced  every  day.  With  a  short 
new  word  list  it  is  possible  to  teach  as  well  as  to  assign  the  new 
words. 

The  number  of  new  words  introduced  in  each  grade  is  as 
follows:  third  grade,  340;  fourth  grade,  530;  fifth  grade,  700; 
sixth  grade,  880;  seventh  grade,  1,020;  total  for  the  grammar 
grade  course,  3,470. 

The  Appendix  contains  a  list  of  462  additional  words. 


METHODS  OF  TEACHING  SPELLING.  11 


METHODS  OF  TEACHING  SPELLING. 


The  plan  of  assigning  children  every  day  a  list  of  from  ten 
to  twenty  words  and  asking  them  to  go  home  and  learn  them 
by  themselves,  is,  on  the  whole,  unsuccessful.  Some  children, 
under  such  circumstances,  can  teach  themselves  how  to  spell. 
Indeed,  we  have  heard  of  a  number  of  great  men  who  received 
practically  all  of  their  education  outside  of  school;  but  we  do 
not  accept  these  isolated  facts  as  a  foundation  for  the  theory 
that  school  instruction  is  unnecessary. 

The  public  schools  are  founded  upon  the  theory,  and  we 
believe  it  to  be  a  sound  one,  that  a  competent  teacher  interested 
in  her  work  can  teach  a  child  better  than  he  can  teach  himself. 
That  is  to  say,  such  a  teacher  can  direct  a  child's  attention, 
shape  his  environment,  stimulate  his  interest,  and  organize  his 
energies  in  such  a  way  that  he  will  learn  in  less  time  and  to 
better  purpose  than  if  he  were  cut  adrift  or  forced  to  pick  up 
his  information  around  the  neighborhoood.  For  this  general 
reason,  but  more  specifically  because  in  a  general,  practical 
way  it  has  abundantly  proved  its  worth,  we  suggest  and  urge 
that  this  word  list  be  taught.  In  the  long  run  it  will  be  easier 
for  the  teacher  and  much  better  for  the  children  if,  instead  of 
passing  groups  of  words  to  the  children  for  instruction  each 
day,  a  systematic  method  is  employed. 

The  method  that  is  suggested  consists  of  the  following  prin- 
cipal parts:  1.  Instruction;  2.  Study;  3.  Lesson  hearing; 
4.  Correction  of  errors;  5.  Review. 

INSTRUCTION.  ^ 

Spelling  may  be  successfully  taught  with  text-books  in  the 
hands  of  the  children,  or  with  but  one  text-book  in  each  class- 
room and  that  in  the  hands  of  the  teacher.  The  latter  plan 
may  be  a  little  more  difficult  to  handle,  but  has  one  important 
advantage.  It  absolutely  insures  a  certain  amount  of  instruc- 
tion at  the  time  the  lesson  is  assigned. 


12  METHODS  OF   TEACHING  SPELLING. 

Assuming,  then,  that  the  children  are  without  texts,  the 
teaching  of  the  new  lesson  is  taken  up  in  the  following  fashion : 
The  children  are  at  their  seats  with  pencil  and  paper.  The 
teacher  pronounces  from  the  text  the  first  new  word  of  the 
next  lesson.  The  children  pronounce  the  word  individually 
and  in  chorus  and  use  it  in  sentences  of  their  ovm  making. 
The  teacher  uses  it  in  sentences  of  her  making  for  the  purpose 
of  more  clearly  defining  and  illustrating  its  values.  Then  the 
teacher  writes  the  word  on  the  board.  The  children  spell  it 
from  the  board  individually,  then  in  chorus.  The  class  may 
then  trace  it  in  the  air,  spelling  in  chorus  as  they  do  so. 
Finally,  the  children  write  it  on  their  study  slips. 

Each  succeeding  new  word  is  treated  in  the  same  manner. 
In  case  recent  reviews  have  indicated  that  any  word  has  been 
poorly  learned  in  a  former  lesson^  it  should  be  retaught  with 
the  new  words. 

The  time  required  for  careful  instruction  in  the  two  new 
words  regularly  assigned  for  each  day  in  the  third  grade 
might  properly  range  from  two  to  three  minutes.  In  the 
seventh  grade  the  six  words  taught  will  require  from  five  to 
seven  minutes.  It  may  be  objected  that  this  takes  time.  It 
does,  but  in  the  long  run  it  saves  a  great  deal  of  time  to  both 
teacher  and  child,  for  it  prevents  the  blundering,  wasteful 
business  of  first  errors,  and  renders  unnecessary  that  most 
difficult  educational  process — the  correction  of  mistakes.  It 
will  take  less  time  in  small  classes  of  two  and  three  in  rural 
schools  than  in  the  larger  classes,  ranging  from  forty  to  sixty, 
in  city  departments.  In  any  case,  enough  time  should  be  put 
upon  the  introduction  of  a  new  word  to  assure  the  teacher  that 
every  child  in  the  class  has  given  it  attention  and  has  had 
impressed  upon  his  memory  its  correct  form  by  hearing,  seeing, 
saying,  and  writing  it. 

STUDY. 

The  pupils  must  be  required  to  give  their  study  list,  con- 
taining the  new  words  that  have  been  taught  them  as  above 
described,  enough  attention  to  strengthen  and  impress  their 


METHODS  OF  TEACHING  SPELLING.  13 

knowledge  of  the  spelling.     This  study  time  should  be  pro- 
vided at  school  and  in  class. 

The  spelling  study  should  not  immediately  precede  the 
written  lesson.  Otherwise,  it  may  become  a  mere  cram  for  a 
temporary  knowledge  sufficient  to  tide  over  the  hearing  of  the 
day's  leSvSon.  The  amount  of  time  required  for  studying  the 
two  new  words  a  day  taught  in  the  third  grade,  and  the  six 
new  words  taught  in  the  seventh,  will  range  possibly  from  four 
to  eight  minutes.  A  longer  time  in  either  case  will  probably 
mean  mere  diffusion  of  attention.  If  necessary,  because  of 
departmental  system  or  program  requirements,  the  teacher 
may  provide  time  for  the  study  of  the  advanced  lesson  at  the 
beginning  of  the  spelling  period;  then  assign  and  teach  the 
new  words  for  the  next  day ;  and  then  proceed  with  the  written 
lesson  based  upon  yesterday's  assignment.  This  will  provide 
at  least  a  minimum  interval  between  the  study  and  the  hearing 
of  the  lesson. 

LESSON  HEARING. 

In  this  the  children  should  use  some  one  of  the  better  forms 
of  spelling  blanks,  preferably  those  that  provide  for  detaching 
each  day  the  lesson  of  the  day  before  as  written  and  finally 
corrected,  and  that  contain  stubs  on  which  misspelled  words 
may  be  correctly  written.  With  pen  and  ink,  and  such  blanks 
before  them,  the  children  write  the  words  of  the  lesson  as  the 
teacher  dictates  them.  Each  word  should  be  distinctly  pro- 
nounced once.  In  case  a  word  is  a  homonym — that  is,  pro- 
nounced the  same  as  another  word  but  spelled  differently- — as 
in  the  case  of  our  or  hour,  bare  or  bear,  then  the  teacher  must 
use  the  word  in  a  sentence  to  indicate  clearly  just  which  one  of 
the  two  is  meant.  Homonyms  should  always  be  treated  sepa- 
rately. To  associate  them,  either  in  the  instruction  or  the 
review,  is  artificially  to  create  a  confusion  that  naturally  does 
not  exist  and  that  may  easily  be  avoided. 

In  the  case  of  words  that  are  spelled  the  same  but  pro- 
nounced differently,  such  as  lives  and  lives,  the  teacher  will, 
of  course,  indicate  the  word  she  means  by  the  pronunciation

that  she  gives  it.  A  foot  note  will  be  found  in  the  case  of  all 
such  words,  illustrating  the  use  of  these  words  in  sentences. 
These  words  that  are  spelled  the  same  but  pronounced  dif- 
ferently, should  be  given  one  pronunciation  and  the  cor- 
responding nieaning  in  the  first  lesson,  and  the  other  pro- 
nunciation and  meaning  in  some  of  the  subsequent  reviews. 
In  this  way,  without  confusion,  the  class  will  learn  that  the 
same  spelling  really  stands  for  two  or  more  entirely  different 
words  and  each  of  them  will  be  carefully  and  separately 
taught  and  reviewed. 

As  each  word  is  pronounced  the  children  should  write  it, 
without  hesitation  or  delay.  From  ten  to  fifteen  seconds  is 
ample  time  in  which  each  word  may  be  pronounced  and 
written.  When  a  child  can  not  write  a  word  promptly  he  has 
not  safely  learned  how  to  spell  it.  The  surest  sign  of  a  poor 
speller  is  hesitation. 

In  the  third  grade  there  are  two  new  and  eight  review  words, 
a  total  of  ten  to  be  written  in  each  daily  test.  The  pronuncia- 
tion and  writing  of  each  lesson  will,  therefore,  require  from 
two  to  three  minutes.  In  the  seventh  grade  there  are  twenty 
words — ^six  new  and  fourteen  review.  The  time  required  there 
for  the  daily  lesson  hearing  will  not  be  much  longer  than  in 
the  third  grade,  for  the  children  are  able  to  write  more  rapidly. 
Even  with  the  increased  number  of  words,  the  lesson  in  the 
seventh  grade  may  be  written  in  three  or  four  minutes. 

CORRECTION    OF    ERRORS. 

After  the  words  have  been  written  the  pupils  should  pass 
their  papers  and  the  teacher  should  dictate  the  spelling  slowly 
and  distinctly  while  each  child  grades  his  neighbor's  spelling 
lesson.  The  papers  should  then  be  returned  to  their  owners. 
Any  word  misspelled  should  be  corrected  immediately  by  writ- 
ing it  in  correct  form  on  the  stub  provided  for  that  purpose. 
Words  thus  misspelled  and  corrected  shall  be  assigned  to  the 
individuals  concerned  for  special  study,  together  with  the  new 
words  in  the  next  day's  assignment. 


METHODS  OF  TEACHING  SPELLING.  15 

In  classes  where  this  or  similar  systematic  methods  of 
instruction  are  followed,  misspelled  words  will  be  few.  Classes 
will  be  one  hundred  per  cent  correct  in  their  daily  lessons  as  a 
rule  rather  than  as  an  exception.  But,  in  any  case,  if  a  word 
is  found  to  be  commonly  misspelled  it  should  be  retaught  by 
the  teacher  along  with  the  new  words  in  the  next  lesson  and 
it  should  be  reviewed  more  often  thereafter  than  is  regularly 
provided  in  the  word  list. 

SYSTEMATIC    REVIEWS. 

No  matter  how  well  spelling  may  be  taught,  permanent 
results  will  depend  in  large  part  upon  the  character  of  the 
reviews.  The  absence  of  regular  systematic  reviews  in  spelling 
and  other  formal  subjects  is  one  of  the  reasons  why  our  results 
are  often  not  as  permanent  and  our  instruction  not  as  thorough 
as  we  would  wish. 

An  automatic,  cumulative  review  is  provided  in  this  course 
for  all  words  taught.  Each  day's  lesson  is  principally  review. 
If  a  new  word  has  been  taught,  it  is,  of  course,  repeated  the 
next  day  by  means  of  the  written  spelling.  Thereafter,  it 
passes  automatically  into  a  review  system.  Its  first  reappear- 
ance is  three  days  after  it  is  taught,  at  which  time  it  appears 
as  one  of  the  review  words  in  the  written  spelling  lesson.  It 
appears  again  within  a  short  time  and  thereafter  it  passes  in 
rotation  before  the  pupil  for  review  again  and  again  in  future 
lessons. 

All  words  of  reasonable  difficulty  appear  at  least  ^Ye  times. 
Some  of  the  harder  words,  however,  have  been  introduced  more 
often,  and  some  of  the  easier  ones  have  been  given  a  smaller 
number  of  repetitions. 

The  teacher  should  use  the  stub  upon  which  the  children 
have  corrected  their  misspelled  words  as  an  index  to  the  special 
need  of  students  and  the  class  as  a  whole.  Words  commonly 
found  there  should  be  reviewed  more  often  than  is  regularly 
provided  in  the  word  list. 

Twenty-two  words,  such  as  cat  and  dog,  have  been  intro- 
duced directly  into  the  reviews  of  the  first  few  lessons.     It  is 


16  CHICO  NORMAL   SCHOOL. 

assumed  that  children  will  have  been  taught  these  words  in 
their  reading  and  language  work  and  will  need  no  instruction 
in  their  spelling.  Nevertheless,  in  order  to  test  the  validity  of 
the  assumption,  the  words  have  been  introduced  once  by  way 
of  review. 

A  final  review  has  been  added  at  the  end  for  the  purpose 
of  giving  adequate  repetition  and  drill  of  the  spelling  of  the 
words  that  were  taught  in  the  last  lessons  of  the  series. 

AVOID    UNNECESSARY    INSTRUCTION    AND    REVIEW. 

The  spelling  of  most  of  the  words  printed  as  new  words  in 
the  first  one  hundred  lessons  may  be  already  known  to  the 
children.  If  this  be  true,  the  fact  Avill  be  immediately 
detected  by  the  teacher  when  the  words  are  taken  up  for 
instruction,  and  most  of  the  time  ordinarily  spent  in  that  work 
may  be  saved.  In  case  it  is  obvious  that  any  word  is  already 
known  by  the  class,  time  should  not  be  spent  in  teaching  it. 

Similarly,  the  teacher  may  see  that  many  of  the  simpler 
words  of  the  first  lessons  and  some  of  the  later  words  do  not 
need  as  many  reviews  as  are  provided.  In  this  case  such 
words  should,  of  course,  be  dropped. 

In  case  the  number  of  review  words  per  lesson  be  found  too 
many  because  of  lack  of  time  and  other  program  demands,  the 
teacher  may  omit  each  day  from  the  written  lesson  two  or 
three  or  four  of  the  words  which  the  pupils  have  learned  most 
thoroughly. 

A    SIMPLE,    TIME-TESTED    METHOD. 

There  is  nothing  new  or  startling  about  the  method  that  is 
here  proposed.  Good  teachers  have  long  used  it  and  many 
text-books  describe  it  in  their  introductions.  It  is  simple, 
direct,  and  practical. 

The  teacher  will  note  that  all  by-play  in  the  way  of  pictures, 
games,  story  telling,  nature  study,  literary-gem  hunting,  and 
other  affiliated  diversions  have  been  kept  out  of  the  suggested 
method.  It  will  be  noted  also  that  we  have  omitted  word 
analysis,  the  study  of  diacritical  marking,  and  the  presentation 


METHODS   OF   TEACHING   SPELLING.  17 

of  spelling  rules,  more  honored  in  the  breach  than  in  the 
observance.  This  has  been  done  that  time  and  attention  may 
be  withheld  from  content  and  methods  of  a  speculative  sort 
and  concentrated  upon  results  definitely  desirable  and  wholly 
within  the  reach  of  any  class  and  teacher. 

Throughout  the  work,  the  teacher  should  keep  a  careful 
record  of  the  progress  of  her  children  and  the  averages  of  her 
class.  With  a  reasonable  interest  upon  her  own  part  in  the 
result,  it  will  not  be  hard  to  awaken  in  the  class  and  the  whole 
community  an  interest  in  the  spelling  records  of  the  boys  and 
girls.  The  spelling  match  and  interclass  contest  will,  under 
sound  management,  help  to  establish  helpful  rivalry.  Best  of 
all  incentives  is  the  personal  pride  that  ever\"  child  may  be  led 
to  feel  in  keeping  his  own  record  clean.  Children  like  to  do 
the  things  they  can  do  well,  and  there  is  no  reason  why  any 
child  should  not  usually  be  perfect  in  a  well  graded,  well 
taught  spelling  course.  As  in  all  formal  work,  the  spelling 
lesson  should  be  brisk  and  filled  with  quick  action  and  response. 

RESULTS. 

This  course  aims  to  include  only  the  words  that  people  com- 
monly need  to  write.  It  seeks  to  put  the  teacher's  time  upon 
spelling  essentials  that  are  one  hundred  per  cent  worth  while 
to  all  the  children  of  the  elementary  schools. 

If  the  spelling  of  this  minimum  list  of  words  is  to  be  taught 
in  such  a  way  as  to  produce  maximum  efficiency,  it  must  be 
taught  in  such  a  way  as  to  get  permanent  results.  There  is  no 
use  to  have  known  how  to  spell  a  word  and  to  have  forgotten 
it,  or  to  have  known  how  to  spell  it  and  to  have  half -forgotten 
it.  Words  that  may  just  as  well  be  taught  and  forgotten  may 
very  much  better  be  left  out  entirely.  There  is  no  dead  wood 
in  the  list  that  follows,  and  every  word  there  should  be  taught 
and  rememhered. 

It  may  seem  that  undue  emphasis  has  been  placed  upon 
instruction  and  that  some  of  the  reviews  herein  are  redundant. 
Perhaps,  in  some  cases,  this  may  be  found  to  be  true ;  if  so,  the 

2— 9S08

justification  is  that  we  are  here  trying  to  secure  definite  and 
lasting  results  and  have  suggested  a  safe  margin  of  efficiency 
in  the  teaching.  When  it  comes  to  real  essentials,  we  would 
rather  be  too  thorough  than  too  slack. 

The  whole  plan  and  purpose  of  this  course  is  very  simple: 
it  proposes  a  word  list  without  surplusage  and  a  direct,  simple 
method,  adequate  to  insure  results.  It  is  the  purpose  of  this 
combination  to  give  to  all  the  children  of  the  elementary 
schools,  thoroughly  and  in  lasting  form,  the  ability  to  spell  the 
words  that  later  school  and  life  demands  will  commonly  require 
them  to  write.

APPENDIX. 

The  following  list  of  462  additional  words  has  been  printed 
so  that  schools  with  excess  energy  and  time  may  find  a  list 
containing  supplementary  spelling  material. 

These  words,  as  proved  by  the  facts,  are  not  as  commonly 
written  as  the  ones  that  have  been  placed  in  the  list.  They 
may  be  said  to  occupy  a  middle  ground  between  the  words 
rarely  used  in  writing  and  the  words  commonly  used. 

Many  of  them  are  words  commonly  encountered  in  reading 
and  in  general  oral  use,  and  therefore  are  a  part  of  our  work- 
ing vocabulary.  Some  of  them  may  be  common  enough  in  the 
written  use  of  teachers  and  others  upon  whom  special  demands 
are  made.  Nevertheless,  the  fact  is,  they  are  not  in  general 
written  use  and  therefore  can  not  fairly  be  included  in  a  course 
of  study  that  aims  to  serve  the  needs  of  all.
